First let's talk about descriptions to the games we like. Who wants to go first
-
Sometimes it's best that the topic starter go first, so he can show people exactly what he's talking about. Wink
Ghost Recon: Squad-based tactical FPS. There is a variety of maps that mostly look like something from the mid-western US. Expansions add Jungle and Island maps.
Gran Turismo 4: Racing simulator. Over 700 cars, 100+ tracks, and tons of customization options. The most realistic physics engine for a racing game to date.
Morrowind: D&D-style RPG with lots of races and classes to choose from, including the ability to create your own custom classes. An incredibly detailed 'to-scale' world that lets you walk from town to town along roads, or through forests or mountains, and the towns are set in the world, not like most RPG's where they're icons on a map which teleport you to the town.

I definately want to get Morrowind now! Here's my description....
Sacred: Crazy Diablo 2 on steroids style game. The game world is HUGE and is constantly being build upon. There is an entire expansion pack (138meg download) for the game to build upon it. MMORPG. Originated in Germany 2 years ago. I have recently discovered a tiny faction of people who have broken the german source code and can now modify the game. (I happend to join them, yay!) Sacred has open and closed servers, along with a LAN party option. The graphics are beautiful. The game contains around 300 side quests, not to mention custom taylored mossions depending on what you choose within the game. If you decide to kill the person you are attempting to rescue as a side quest, the people in town will dislike you, and the merchants in the area will sell less and will raise prices. The game is immense. I have played for 5 months, and I have only discovered 40% of the world map. There are 8 known dragons, and a few other super creatures. Yea, I play too much.
ok, that's about it. if i keep going on bout that game, i will go crazy.

Call of Duty: The best WW2 game I have ever laid my hands on. Its like having sex with all of the Final Fantasy girls at once, just war style. Weapons are evenly balanced and multiplayer action is 50 times more intense than medal of honor.
I have a bunch of war stories, if anyone would like to hear it I could start a new topic about it
-
Yeah, I like WWII shooters as well. I have Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, and I used to have Battlefield 1942, which kicks ass as well, especially because there are vehicles, airplanes, etc. I'm really looking forward to Battlefield 2 when it comes out, even though it's modern day. I have a bunch of other FPS' as well, like the Half-Life Platinum Collection, Half-Life 2, Doom 3, DF: Black Hawk Down + Team Sabre, Joint Operations, Rainbow Six 3, and Ghost Recon w/ both expansions. I wonder when I got so much into FPS'. I used to never play them... I'm downloading Pariah right now. Supposed to be a pretty good game. Despite my piracy habit, A lot of the games I own are actually legal. Probably because many times you can't play online multiplayer without a legal key.
-
Grand Theft Auto Vice City. Action game. This is the kind of game that I would play just to kick back and have fun . I usually go around killing people and trying to max out my felony rating, then I challenge myself to outrun a bunch of cops. It's really fun.
Neverwinter Nights. My favorite PC RPG...but that's because Morrowind wouldn't run on my PC. I have 2 expansions, each adding up numerous classes and items. My favorite part has got to be the Toolset which allows me to make my own NWN RPG. It has a very C-esque language too. Very powerful.
The Sims 2. Ashe loves it, so I thought of giving it a try. It's awesome, but the system requirements are simply too high. It runs like crap(5 seconds lag during gameplay, 15 minute loading time for loading families) on my Celeron 2 GHz.
Sim City 4. Awesome graphics and...awsome graphics Very Happy
Actually all I want is that we get to build a city and explore it in depth a la GTA.
-
Yeah, NWN is an awesome RPG as well. I have it, but none of the expansions. It's too bad I have some weird medical disorder that prevents me from actually completeing games ever since graduating from high school... I used to play Gran Turismo games religiously, but I seem to only have completed 13% of GT4, and now I haven't touched it in months...
I played with the NWN editor many a year ago and started porting Godiva: Alpha to it's engine. Didn't get very far, but here's a screenshot.

Druid Circle! Smile
Frei and I also were doing a spin off of Heraldry in it too, Heraldry:Journey to Oblivia is actually a MMORPG type game and NWN is also Multiplayer supportive Smile
And since we know how to use 3dsmax, Frei designed additional monsters, items, and player graphics. We even downloaded some tilesets and additional objects. While I go about making customized portraits.
-
Damn, sounds like a pretty major project. Is the game going to be Massively Multiplayer? Because I was aware that NWN was only a multiplayer game. My guess is it was just a typo?
-
Sims 2 - For those of you that aren't familiar with this game, you create families and neighborhoods and run everyone's lives from their job to their relationships with everyone around them. The best part about Sims 2 is the fact that you can customize EVERY aspect about your sims Smile
Might and Magic 6 - A first-person RPG where you create a party of 4 characters and explore the world, taking on tasks and quests as they come around. As you take certain actions, people will view you differently. Great game, even if it is from the 90s.

Xenogears - Easily the best game to come out of Square. Brilliant story, great battle system, great music, 20 minutes of anime cut-scenes with voice acting, the abilities to jump and rotate the camera ect..
The team that made it left Square to form Monolith Software.
Bushido Blade 1&2- Addictive fighting games also by Square. They focused on one hit kills as opposed to damaging your opponent until KO. They gave you the ability to hit your opponents legs to slow them down, or hit whatever hands they needed to hold their sword(s). The stories were never great, however there were memorable characters, a great selection of weapons, and how far you made it through the story mode was dependent on how honorable your fighting was.
I believe the team that made them left Square and is now making the Way Of The Samurai games.

Tekken 4: is a fighting game the story is there was a guy named Kazuya his father Heihachi threw him in lava in Tekken 2 because Heihachi is evil then they took Kazuya in a science room studying about him there was a Devil gene in him. So he can turn into the Devil. But before that there was an tournament called The King Of Iron Fist Tournament. Then it went all the way to The King Of Iron Fist Tourament 5. Kazuya fought everyone in all the tournaments including Heihachi. Thats how it goes.

Yeah, we had to shrink down the scale of H:JtO so that NWN can accomodate it. It's just for test though, the real version should be fully MMORPG w/c I plan on making using Java. But that's thinking too far ahead Very Happy I gotta finish Freija first Wink

I love makin modules in NWN. I got both expansions, ane I got the CEP patch. I also have numerous item crafters and character makers. I have close to 100 some additional Hak Paks that the CEP patch doesn't offer. If you want anything, just ask, I can put up some good stuff. I worked on a huge module consisting of 200 some odd maps. My harddrive got fried in January when I got my new system around (damn A-Bit and their screwy screws). I am slowly building back everything, but I want to compile the complete list of 12,000 items in Sacred again.
Am I writing to much?

How about we give a description of a DVD that we like. What I mean is tell the story of the DVD I guess it's clear now I'll go first.
National Treasure
A movie where there was people fighting for a treasure that was fought over for years even when the first president was alive. And these guys was searching for it. They found out they have to look in the back of the Declaration of Independence to find out. The other reason why they stole it because these other people tried to steal it. After they stole it they went through all this mess to find out about the treasure. Finally they found it out, got the treasure and the bad guys got arrested for trying to steal the Declaration of Independence. And thats the end.

Guild Wars: A FREE MMORPG. The maximum level is 20, but the action doesn't stop there. The world is huge and beatifully detailed. This is a game that is more commonly referred to as a CMMORPG (Competitve Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). You can also jump directly to level 20 with a PvP (Player vs Player) only character and compete in the various arena's, guild war's and the Hall of Hero's.
Guild Wars (Taken directly from the Guild War's webpage at <a href='http://www.guildwars.com)' target='_blank'>http://www.guildwars.com)</a>
Guild Wars takes the best elements of today's massively multiplayer online games and combines them with a new mission-based design that eliminates some of the more tedious aspects of those games. You can meet new friends in towns or outposts, form a party, and then go tackle a quest together. Your party always has its own unique copy of the quest map, so camping, kill-stealing, and long lines to complete quests are all things of the past. Within a Guild Wars quest you have unprecedented freedom and power to manipulate the world around you; with the dynamic quest system, your accomplishments have a unique influence on your future.
You don't have to spend countless hours on a leveling treadmill to get to the interesting parts of the game, because combat is designed to be strategically interesting and challenging right from the beginning. You don't have to spend hours running around the world to prepare for a quest, because Guild Wars allows you to instantly travel to the beginning of any quest that you've previously unlocked. You'll never spend days playing, only to discover that the choices you made early have left you with a permanently uncompetitive character. The unique skill system in Guild Wars encourages infinite experimentation but doesn't allow early choices to limit a character. And you'll never meet new players only to discover that you can't play with them or compete against them because their characters are on a different server than yours; in Guild Wars, all characters live in one seamless world.
A Variety of Choices[/i]
Guild Wars heroes come in all types: male and female, large and small, and in any of 36 combinations of the six professions: Warrior, Ranger, Monk, Elementalist, Mesmer, and Necromancer. With more than 150 unique skills per character, which can be combined for any number of effects, the possibilities are mind boggling.
In addition, you can create up to four heroes per unique Guild Wars account. New heroes can be deleted and created at any time, allowing you to create specialized characters or to have fun experimenting with profession combinations, skills, and attributes until you create the hero that suits you best.
Built for Competition[/i]
If you like Player-versus-Player competition, Guild Wars was made for you. In addition to building up a character by undergoing missions and quests, you can choose to create a character specifically for head-to-head PvP competition or guild warfare. The game is designed to reward player skill and teamwork, not time spent playing, so you won't need to spend hundreds of hours leveling up your character to compete.
The game includes integrated support for guilds, with the ability to create unique guild emblems, to acquire guild halls, and to keep in touch through in-game guild messaging. Guilds can challenge other guilds to battle, compete for control of key parts of the world, and be ranked on a worldwide ladder.
Heading Unique Streaming Technology[/i]
ArenaNet's unique streaming technology forever eliminates the concept of patching a game. You don't have to wait a month for the next big patch to experience new content. Instead, the game constantly and intelligently streams new content to your computer in the background while you play. The world can and will change continually. This allows you to experience a much more dynamic game world than any that has existed before.

If people still wants to do games I guess it's all right. But I'm prombaly gonna do both DVD's and Games.
Shenmue: A game on the sega dreamcast it's good even know it's a old game. Here's the description. Ryo is a son of Iwao. There was rumors that said Iwao killed Lan Di's father in Japan. Lan Di went to Iwao's house and killed him. Ryo tried to find him to take revenge. He went through sailers lot's of people to defeat him. And after his men to find him. He went through the harbor to find info from a group of people called the Mad Angles. After he got all the info from the mad angles he heard that Lan Di is here. He even heard that he was going to Hong Kong so Ryo sailed there and it ended right there. The next game is Shenmue 2.
In the game you can go to the arcade and play other old games there it's very cool.

Probably best to keep them in seperate topics, to be better organized. I'll go ahead and create a movies topic.
-
Ok Spyder. GameCharmer Naruto is a great video game how about you give a description about that for the topic. If you played it.
-

Alpha Centauri-otherplanetary sim, where you try to grow your colony and defeat, or ally with the other factions trying to survive on the Planet.
I loved morrowind, needed some good random quests, like Daggerfall
Daggerfall-massive old-school game where the MAIN story is you have to find out how the king of daggerfall got killed, and why he walks the streets at night screaming "VENGEANCE" but that is only the main story, of which i only managed to get about 4 quests into and i ahd the game for years, i ususally just get better in the guilds, and tey to get involved with the vamp hunters and such.
